A sobering message about the Future at AI's biggest party

This is for those who worry about AI taking over the world. It appears there is a ways to go and no-one is sure how to get there.

A sobering message about the future at AI’s biggest party

Quotes

a system trained to show superhuman performance at one videogame is incapable of playing any other. “We have machines that learn in a very narrow way,” Bengio said. “They need much more data to learn a task than human examples of intelligence, and they still make stupid mistakes.

Optimism from Google and others that self-driving taxi fleets could be deployed relatively quickly has been replaced by fuzzier and more restrained expectations.

Well, considering that only 10-15 years ago most things were thought near impossible what we do today. The speed which things are improving is increasing.

And about making mistakes... I believe it's something human intelligence is doing all the time, so it's no surprise artificial intelligence suffers the same problem. :D

AI is an infection.

They state in the article that they have hit a wall on the ways its needs to improve and the deep dive AI's which concentrates on a specific subject will be hitting a wall soon.

There was a wall until about 15 years ago. The time between early 80's until then is considered to be the "ice age of AI" because they thought it was impossible to solve certain problems, until some math proof or whatever (my son is the expert on these things). Any wall that we have now, it'll only take a few years until it's breached. AI is exciting and scary, but I believe the biggest threat is AI that slowly grows into society and we're not eve aware. The big scary AI that takes over the world won't be a monster we all can watch. It'll be the one we wouldn't even notice.

To clarify myself a little more. I was in a rush this morning. It doesn't surprise me there's a wall regarding AI, and it's probably not the last one. My son has pointed out a bunch of issues and problems with AI, some of them scarier than others. In the end though, it seems like every impossible wall that's been risen have one way or another been overcome in the past 30-40 years and it seems to happen faster. So whatever wall there is now, we most likely will see it solved in a few years or such. And it wouldn't surprise me if we're starting to see AI implementations in place to solve... AI problems.
